Abstract
A flywheel device having two flywheel masses which are deflectable relative to each other. Within one of the masses a grease chamber is provided along with packings against the emergence of viscous medium. One of the packings rests against a sealing seat which is developed on a structural part of one of the flywheel masses and another one of the packings is also provided on a structural part of the flywheel mass. Under axial initial stress the two packings are brought to rest against, in each case, one side of a bearing. At least one of the structural parts of the flywheel mass which has a sealing seat is adapted to receive both the bearing and the packing and has recesses in which the holder of the packing can be inserted for axially securing the packings with respect to the structural part on the one hand and with respect to the bearing on the other hand. The structural part which is preassembled in this way, after being brought with a predeterminable axial force against the other structural part which also has a sealing seat, can be firmly connected in axial direction to the other structural part.
